Iron Chef America update: Jerky Flay went down to Ming Tsai in the Duck Battle last night. Ever since Jerky stood up on the cutting board against Morimoto, I've been waiting for him to lose. He is definitely the biggest jackass on Food TV. I'm so glad he was beat by an Asian-- hee hee!

The episode: Foie gras creme brulee actually looked good (Tsai), and I have to say the jerk duck from Jerky (how appropriate) looked awesome on the plate. Even though he's my all-time favorite food writer, Jeffrey Steingarten's arrogant comments are getting old. Ted Allen was actually pretty good, and thank goodness they got rid of that stoopid middle judge from last week who was afraid of Trevino's catfish doughnut. (But not afraid of his 'miso honey' sauce. Haha-- I snorted on that one when he said it on TV). All in all, a great ICA episode.

Ming's put on some weight since his Food TV days. Too much foie gras there, buddy?
